Please note that this event is best suited to children aged 6 and over. Our session takes place in areas of uneven terrain and involves quite a lot of walking, with the terrain being unsuitable for buggies and long distances between our Field Centre and reserve areas. It will also involve the use of equipment such as binoculars.

Chillax! Winter – it doesn’t have to be boring. Even though we’re in what some call the bleakest months of the year, there’s no need to feel bleak on this inside. Better still, we can fix these winer blues by getting ourselves outside and showing nature some LOVE! We’ll be heading outdoors exploring our wide range of habitats, getting the best of nature’s ‘wow factor’, learning new skills, being creative, playing games and maybe even make some new friends!

Even in the wintertime, the stunning Sandwich Bay Estate is alive with birdsong and flushed with vibrant colours. Tracks in the mud reveal the trails of nocturnal mammals meandering in the night, hardy fungi species can be found on deadwood and our wetland - Restharrow Scrape - comes to life with over-wintering birds and are full of hidden charms ready to be discovered!
